When it comes to phishing, knowledge is power. We tend to underestimate the impact of phishing on the enterprise and assume our existing defense strategies are sufficient to combat these attacks.

To understand phishing means understanding one of the most common methods used by attackers to breach and maneuver within our networks, and to do that we need to dispel a few myths. Read this white paper to learn about phishing tactics and the key steps to building a complete security strategy that protects against credential phishing.

Identity management is becoming increasingly important in this era where massive data breaches and credential harvesting are a regular occurrence. To make matters worse, mobility and cloud have increased the attack surface. Businesses that have unreasonable expectations from users on access hygiene, and rely on fragmented or manual error prone processes are at a great risk. Read more on Okta's modern approach to centralizing identity management, enabling strong authentication, reducing the attack surface and enabling rapid response.

As threats to password security have increased in recent years, multi-factor authentication (MFA) has rapidly gained adoption as a method for increasing the assurance of authentication for consumer and enterprise web and mobile applications.
